The performance opens with Hanna Havrylets’s Chorale for Strings, a deeply moving piece that blends lament and hope, reflecting the composer’s Ukrainian heritage. Havrylets, who passed away shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, imbues this work with a poignant sense of longing and resilience.

The program continues with Antonin Dvorák’s Symphonic Variations, a masterpiece of melodic invention and orchestral color. Dvorák transforms a simple theme into a series of intricate and beautiful variations while demonstrating the versatility and skill of the WSO. This piece is celebrated for its melodic charm and the delightful way it explores and develops musical ideas.
